About FORTUNATE SON:

Ry Archer and Bowe Keller are as different as night and day. But that doesn't stop the childhood frenemies from reconnecting whenever one of them needs some help tackling any of life's major puzzles, like figuring out why getting what you always thought you wanted isn't living up to all the hype. They might constantly rub each other the wrong way (except for the times when they rub each other the really-really right way), but there is no denying they've always made one hell of a great team. They manage to balance each other out… when they aren't driving each other crazy. 

For Ry, he thought he had the perfect girl, the one who was going to run headfirst into a methodically planned future. He was going to marry young and have the same kind of legendary, life-long romance his parents did… or so he believed. His girl was going to stand by his side as he chased his dream of being a professional football player all the way to the NFL. 

He was wrong. 

Now, Ry's gotta figure out the difference between a bruised heart and a broken one, and the only person who can teach him the difference is Bowe. 

Bowe always felt like she had to run before she learned to walk to keep up with her father's musical legacy. He's her hero, and she wants nothing more than to make him proud. Bowe's about to figure out that maybe she wasn't meant to be in a rock and roll band and that it is possible she let her father's success cloud her idea of what making music should be. Bowe needs to find her own path to fame, and there's a good chance she wouldn't be brave enough or bold enough to start over if Ry Archer hadn't charmed his way back into her life when she least expected it. 

Some days they're enemies. Other days they're lovers. For a while, they were strangers. But now, it feels more like they might have always been soulmates. 

Eventually, Ry and Bowe realize that letting go of an old dream and creating a new one is much easier to do with the right person by your side.

My Fortunate Son Review . . .

Gah! I loved the Marked Men series so when I found out there was going to be a spin off series on the children, I jumped at the opportunity to review and read this book.  My real complaint is that I wished I had enough time that I could have re-read the Marked Men and Saints of Denver series to truly get immersed back into that world.   Since it has been so long since I read that series it took me a bit to get whom everyone was and whom belonged to whom.  Though, thankfully there is a handy family tree to help sort that all out. Sadly my kindle couldn't enlarge it enough so I could read it properly but eventually I will pull it up on my computer so I can get my whole head wrapped around all the kids and all the possibilities of romances in this generation.  Squee!!!!

I loved that we started with Rule's oldest child because with Rule is where this whole world started.  And I adored seeing Rule as a father and his struggles.  The fact that they are all still dealing with the loss of Remy and how profound that whole story line is.

Even though this book is technically a spin off it is set up that it can be read as a standalone, but to get the whole experience I think its best having read at least the Marked Men series but it is not necessary.

I don't think I ever would have put Ry and Bowe together but Jay has a knack for putting the most unlikely couples together and having them work perfectly.

Ry and Bowe felt real and you got to feel their challenges of life and growing up along side them.  Their chemistry was great and I loved that they bring the honesty out of each other.

"No one will be the same when you wake up.  When you almost lose someone you love, it changes who you are.  It makes you evaluate the things that are really important and what you can live without. . . ."
I also love seeing each new character and their characteristics of the parents shining through each kid. 

Fortunate Son, brings all the feels from hope to heartache and I can not wait for more from the Forever Marked series.  Thank you Jay Crownover for bringing us back into this world. 

4 Forever Marked thumbs up!

“An adrenaline rush of a romance that made my heart race and my soul shake. So HEADY. So HEART-POUNDING. So HEARTFELT. So YES!!!” – Karen, Bookalicious Babes Blog


Shift


Dustin Bridges has always had two things he could count on—his fearless instincts behind the wheel and the support of his two best friends, Tommy and Hannah Judge. 

Dustin brought the speed. 

Tommy, the brains. 

And Hannah . . . she was the glue that held everyone together. 

Together, they were unstoppable. 


From the dirt tracks of their youth to the late-night drag races under a desert moon as teens, the Judge siblings pushed and watched in awe as their friend edged closer to his dream. Always racing, always running. That was Dustin’s gift and curse. And while his life at home was unbearable, his world with the Judges always seemed perfect. 


Growing up with people makes for a special bond. But sometimes life has a way of testing just how strong a relationship is. And falling in love with one of your best friends, not to mention your other best friend’s sister? Well, that can be the toughest test of all. 


Heartbreak doesn’t know what it’s up against, though, because when there is a prize to be won, nobody bets against Dustin Bridges. 


Wreck and Burn

(Books 2 and 3)

 

Wreck continues Dustin and Hannah’s story four years later, and book 3,  

 

Burn, completes their love story in their mid 20s.

Here with Me by Samantha Young (Adair Family #1) #bookreview #romance

 

Here With Me

(Adair Family #1)

by
 
Settled in the tranquil remoteness of the Scottish Highlands, Ardnoch Estate caters to the rich and famous. It is as unattainable and as mysterious as its owner —ex-Hollywood leading man Lachlan Adair—and it's poised on the edge of a dark scandal.

After narrowly escaping death, police officer Robyn Penhaligon leaves behind her life in Boston in search of some answers. Starting with Mac Galbraith, the Scottish father who abandoned her to pursue his career in private security. To re-connect with Mac, Robyn will finally meet a man she’s long resented. Lachlan Adair. Hostility instantly brews between Robyn and Lachlan. She thinks the head of the Adair family is high-handed and self-important. And finding closure with Mac is proving more difficult than she ever imagined. Robyn would sooner leave Ardnoch, but when she discovers Mac is embroiled in a threat against the Adairs and the exclusive members of the estate, she finds she’s not yet ready to give up on her father.

Determined to ensure Mac’s safety, Robyn investigates the disturbing crimes at Ardnoch, forcing her and Lachlan to spend time together. Soon it becomes clear a searing attraction exists beneath their animosity, and temptation leads them down a perilous path.
While they discover they are connected by something far more addictive than passion, Lachlan cannot let go of his grip on a painful past: a past that will destroy his future … if the insidious presence of an enemy lurking in the shadows of Ardnoch doesn’t do the job first.

My Here with Me  Review . . .

I have been such a big fan of Samantha Young since On Dublin Street so anytime a new book comes out I jump at the chance to read it. 

"I always thought perfect silence was nothing.  But it's not.  It's the world devoid of human noise.  It's waves lapping at the shore, gulls crying in the sky, the breeze whistling over clifftops and soaring down valleys."
 
Robyn Penhaligon immediately starts off as a kiss ass heroine.  I was intrigued from the first page.  I also loved the fact that even though she was strong she also had her demons which we all have even though many try to pretend that they don't.  

She goes to Scotland to make amends with her father Mac.   But once there she runs into Lachlan Adair whom she blames for the falling apart of her relationship with her father.

Robyn and Lachlan have a chemistry immediately even though it starts as hate.  That doesn't mean there is no steam to go along with that hate.

While Robyn is trying make amends with her dad, all hell is breaking loose at the Ardnoch Estate where Lachlan owns and runs a high end club to the rich and famous. 

With strange things happening Robyn ends up staying to help figure out whom is behind all the incidents. 

As Robyn and Mac come together to solve the mystery Lachlan and Robyn hate turns into more.

He knew better than anyone that often those who seemed the strongest buried their pain a little deeper than the rest.  Sometimes those who seemed the strongest needed the support of others more than those around them ever realized.
I have to admit normally most suspense plots are quite predictable but Samantha gave a brilliant twist that I didn't see coming.   It was great.  I love being surprised when reading romance suspense.

Every character was so well written I was immersed in the story the whole time and I didn't want it to end.  I absolutely loved Robyn and Lachlan together.

"Braveheart, I want your home to be where I am because my home is wherever you are."

I can not frigging wait for more from this series. 
 
4 Braveheart loving thumbs up!
